00:00Let's recall that the Venezuelan government previously proposed withdrawing from the International Criminal Court, ICC, in 2023.
00:07At the time, President Nicolas Maduro expressed concerns about the ICC's actions,
00:14arguing they threatened the sovereignty of countries in the Global South.
00:18In this regard, the Venezuelan head of state announced the ICC's investigation into the Venezuela first case,
00:24claiming that the ICC sought to politicize false crimes against humanity and offenses
00:31that had already been investigated by the national justice system as part of a regime change strategy promoted by U
00:39.S. authorities.
00:40The National Assembly of Venezuela supported this position, describing the ICC's action
00:44as a form of lawfare and repealing its commitment to a genuinely equitable and sovereign justice system
00:50that served the interests of the people.
